Description: Reed described this house as one of the two
houses on Pollock Street occupied by Company D in May 1863. He further stated
that this house "was the cook-house, and is typical of all house-servants'
quarters in the South. When occupied by soldiers it was kept clean, and
whitewash was freely used. Its filthy condition in 1884 caused the 'Expedition'
to wonder how Northern-bred white men could ever have been comfortable there.
The lot back of the house is now enclosed by a high board fence, and there is a
pigsty in one corner. Army regulations are no longer observed on those
premises."
